How does coffee or caffeinated tea fit in to your daily regimen?

[carlfielder1]

Including it into your daily diet is a common practice for many people. Although these drinks can provide a temporary boost of energy, it is important to consider their impact on overall health. Moderation is a key factor when consuming caffeinated beverages to avoid possible side effects.

I usually rise at around 04:00 AM and ritually begin the day on an empty stomach with a strong hot black sugar-free coffee (2 teaspoon servings of freeze-dried coffee), this gives me all the boost I need for my daily (every day) 05:30 AM 10-kilometer fast one hour and a half walk, that's my one and only coffee for the day.

I'm 70 years old, male, diagnosed by in 2018 with Parkinson's (confirmed by DatScan), main symptoms are right hand tremor and Restless Leg Syndrome.

Do you take any drugs? I was diagnosed in 2018 as well by DatScan. Now I have to take 400 mg L-Dopa and the agonist Pramipexol (1.57 mg).

Hello (good morning from France) Gisel, I take half a Sinemet Carbidopa/Levodopa 25mg/250mg three times a day (3 x 1/2), and an equivalent of Pramipexol (Rotigotine) of Neupro 2mg 24-hour patches and Gabapantine for the Restless Leg Syndrome.

You want to Max up on the antioxidant polyphenols like tea, green tea and coffee, none of them with milk or any protein like cream because they will destroy the benefit of the antioxidants. You do this a couple of times everyday, considering your tea to be sweetened ambrosia, and you will find that as a comfort drink it really is extremely helpful and helpful in the cognitive areas particularly. And that to a typical daily vitamin pill and you will be way ahead of the game if you are smart enough to make it habit.

Good for you you are a wise beyond your years.

A lot. I used to drink it with cream before I became aware of the chemistry behind what milk and cream does, it destroys the antioxidant benefits of coffee. Caffeine is only one of the ingredients in coffee, but you're really drinking coffee for is all the polyphenols, the antioxidants, which milk destroys just as it does in tea. What I do is I just add sugar to taste then it's really not so bad and the benefits from the polyphenols is very much worth the trouble, very very much worth it. And taking that way, straight with a little bit of sugar to taste is really a comfort drink as well. Increases your cognition and your intelligence and that was known about caffeine in general 50 years ago when one of my supervisors who was a psychiatrist happened to mention it, I have some straight up and this was back in 1981, can you think of any particular benefit of caffeine, and he said it increases your IQ.. But really for what we want today here at Hu in the Parkinson's and other dementing groups, it's the polyphenols, those little antioxidants that you need it for and it's invaluable. Drink green tea the same way, if you don't like it by itself then have a little sugar but in any case don't add anything bearing protein like milk or cream.

Big cafetière of ground coffee in the mornings. Green tea afternoons.

Caffeine, polyphenols - but also the fibre in the ground coffee sorts out my constipation.

I can't imagine how sky high my anxiety would go if I drank anything with caffeine in it.
